- Homework Statement
- how far from the mercury surface must a horizontal line be drawn in a 2 meter square gate whose one side is at the fluid surface so that the hydrostatic forces in the two newly formed surfaces are equal
- Relevant Equations
- 1) F = yAh
where y= specific weight
A is the cross sectional area
h is the distance from the centroid to the surface of the fluid.
